Re: 2012 General Yankee Comments Thread

We're having trouble. A lot of trouble,But, are we doomed. NO of course not the Yankees management can see these games just as well as we can. It's only a matter of time before we get someone I think. We got CC who's doing pretty good. Nova, who regardless of what anyone says about him right now is doing pretty good IMHO. Once Pettitte is back we'll be DFAing Garcia. Joba for Haren? Isn't Joba out for the whole 2012? If I was the other team I wouldn't trade Joba for Haren. At least not at this point if he's out for the Year. However if he is back soon, that changes everything. I loved Pineda and hoped to see him this year, but I'll just see him next year though. We are most likely gonna trade for some big pitcher. With 3 of our five pitchers not really doing what they needed to do. What I am mostly worried about is who they are going to trade.

Still and will always be a New England Patriots fan.

Wow. Was there anyone, and I mean anyone, who thought that Garcia would get bludgeoned today AND that the Yankee offense would make an unheralded 12 year-old rookie they'd never seen before look like the second coming of Cy Young? You just can't predict baseball.

The baseball-reference Play Index goes back to 1918 and today was the first time a pitcher allowed at least 7 hits, at least 7 walks, and at least 1 home run in no more than 4 2/3 innings but allowed no more than 3 runs. That's what Max Scherzer did against the Yankees today. Scherzer and Luke Putkonen combined to average 27 pitches per inning in the first 6 1/3 innings.

Re: 2012 General Yankee Comments Thread

What is our outfield situation while Swisher sits out? Gardner is on the DL so that leaves us with Jones - Granderson - Ibanez and no 4th OF'er, unless I'm forgetting someone. I assume Nunez will either DH or play SS/3B. Yet another reason they should just cut ties with Freddy. Call up DeWayne Wise and let him take Garcia's roster spot.

I believe the plan is to use Nunez as the 4th outfielder for a couple days. They'll make a roster move if it looks like Swish will be out for more than 2-3 days.
